WMF knife rests: knives presented perfectly

Knife rests improve the look of a laid table and are impressively practical too. With WMF, quality meets style to create beautifully designed knife rests for you and your guests to enjoy!

Dine with style

A festively laid table is a must when you invite family and friends round to eat. While the cutlery can be laid out neatly at first, as the meal progresses it gets more and more untidy - and it's even worse when the cutlery gets dirty! Knife rests not only ensure your table stays tidy, they also avoid unpleasant marks on the tablecloth.

With attractive designs, harmonious shapes and outstanding durability, WMF knife rests will impress everyone, whether they are connoisseurs or not. These small rests are above all a sign of high quality. Impress your guests with modern perfection!

A long tradition with high-quality features

The term "knife rest" is confusing and implies that these products should be used exclusively for knives. However, these small rests are not only intended for table knives. They are designed to allow you to lay out cutlery without dirtying the tablecloth or other surfaces. That means you can also use these small but practical knife rests for table forks or spoons. In Japan, a country with a dining culture dating back thousands of years, chopsticks are placed on hashioki. In many other cultures too, small cutlery rests are also indispensable for keeping tables clean and tidy.

Originally, knife rests were made from a single bar on an x-shaped stand. However, this shape disappeared from modern kitchens years ago. Modern knife rests are made of crossed blocks. WMF's knife rests are available in designs that match the other cutlery items in the collection, so that your table can look uniform and harmonious.

WMF knife rests: style and quality combined

Practical WMF knife rests are made from high-quality Cromargan® 18/10 stainless steel. They are of course highly polished and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Thanks to their open design, however, they can also be cleaned quickly and effectively under running water. Most WMF knife rests are designed without seams, so no germs can infiltrate them - a plus for hygiene in your home! Choose the right knife rest from various collections to create the perfectly laid table. Explore the diverse knife rest category and take advantage of our great offers to enhance your dining experience!

Staying sharp – you can't do anything without knives!

Where would a chef be without knives? A knife that does what it's supposed to – that is to say, cut – is the most important thing any chef can have in their kitchen, whether you're a budding amateur or a seasoned professional. You can find the right tool for cutting any kind of food in the WMF assortment.

A piece of (culinary) culture – knives have been around ever since the Stone Age

Knives, originally just sharp blades made from stone, wood, bone and other hard materials, have been used since prehistoric times. Nothing can happen without a knife, especially not in the kitchen. The kitchen gadgets are used to chop up meat, vegetables and many other foodstuffs. You can find the right knife for any kind of use in the WMF shop. Among other things, we develop chef's knives designed for universal application in a wide range of designs and in line with our collections, and likewise bread knives, vegetable knives and carving knives. The blades are forged in the traditional way at our workshop in Hayingen. Our quality knives keep for years and years if they are well cared for, and if necessary they can be sharpened with a steel or a knife sharpener.

It's like cutting through butter!

Good tools are the basis of good results, whether in the kitchen or the workshop. Knives and their various designs are no exception. A good knife will cut through any food cleanly and effortlessly, which also applies to our carving knives, which can go through any food like cutting through butter. For our more aesthetically-minded customers, we offer Santoku knives and Chinese knives, and our chopping knives are perfect for chopping up things like herbs, garlic, ginger or onions without breaking into a sweat and in a way that retains their flavour. Our eagle-eyed customers can see the quality of our knives straight away.

Our blades are made from 15% chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel and the alloy is etched onto the blade of each knife.

The transition from the blade to the handle is forged. The so-called bolster keeps the finger apart from the blade, which lets you work safely.

You won't find any joints on our knives. Seamless transitions are more hygienic and give the knives stability.

Our knives don't just start off sharp - they stay that way.
